Maya is the power that distracts attention away from Reality. While engaged in mathematics/logic self awareness is lost.
Math is a thought producing machine, nothing more. It leads to nothing profound. Those profundities are...?
Yup just more thought.
Do you see?
Mathematics = Maya
Re: Mathematics = Maya
you idea is self-referentialYup just more thought.
if thought is maya
then
then your claim itself is a thought therefore must itself be maya -so why should we listen to you -if what you said is just maya
Re: Mathematics = Maya
Self-referentiality is not a contradiction if it expands to other self referential statements:
Example:
(A→A)→B
(B→B)→C
C∋(A,B)
Re: Mathematics = Maya
Thought does not necessarily have to completely stop. Unnecessary and egoic "I" thoughts cease. Also, I'm not fully enlightened. I'm pretty "close" though.
Re: Mathematics = Maya
Yes I know I use the word I alot. Doesn't mean it means to me what it means to you.
Re: Mathematics = Maya
Mathematics is nothing but a thought producing machine. Thought is a form of relative existence ("I know I exist when I'm thinking"). This is redundant and unnecessary, as we have the ability to be absolutely self aware.
Re: Mathematics = Maya
This does not have to be the case.
If one is firmly established in "self awareness" (true nature) no thought can make you loose it.
I would rather say that lack of awareness is a "thought producing machine".
As long as awareness is primary thoughts will automatically recede and appear only when required.
What qualifies something to carry the label: "profound"? It's in the realm of thought to pronounce something profound or shallow - Math, just like anything else, can be at either end of the scale depending on how much truth you see in it.
Re: Mathematics = Maya
Hmm. I wonder if this is the same as saying Information=Maya.
